Shared Matter by The Swiss Arts Council and Presence Switzerland

For Milan Design Week 2026, Blēo is part of the exhibition Shared Matter, a collaboration between Presence Switzerland and The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia Design, two key institutions dedicated to promoting Swiss culture, design and creative exchange internationally.

Bringing together six emerging Swiss designers and studios, the exhibition unfolds as a collective exploration of material, process and collaboration, where ideas are shaped through dialogue and grounded in a more tactile, physical reality. At the intersection of experimentation and material presence, Shared Matter creates a spatial narrative that feels deliberate, dense and quietly powerful.

Within this context, colour becomes an integral part of the scenography. Nearly 400 m² of the exhibition is painted in GO HA 02 Mirror Base by Gonzalez Haase AAS, a colour developed to hold light, depth and reflection in balance, enhancing both the architectural setting and the works on view.
